Repairing, modifying or making a new control cable is something that comes along every now and again in the garage. I recently had to shorten a throttle control cable. I had to cut the carburetor end off and solder on a new brass sleeve. Barrels are usually on the end that goes into the...

Nothing new to be home built by any stretch of the imagination, but this is my take on the manometer. The tool is simple in design. If you add the feature to stop the transmission fluid in the tube from being pulled into the engine, the build will be a bit more complicated. Even though...

Probably a waste of time and effort to get this going, but I come across a few things now and then and if no one else contributes, I will. The idea of this post is to have a collection of home made tools that we all use and maybe some plans for future tools we would like to build. I figured...

This is the first and last time that I will bring this up, unless someone shows interest or would want to get involved. It's just an Idea that I had last night thinking about the price of rear-sets offset to their simplicity, and how the newer sport bike rear-sets don't match old school styling...

If anyone is keeping up with this little drama you know what is going on. If not here is a link. http://tv.msn.com/tv/article.aspx?news=452052&gt1=28103 Even though they are paying him to give up the slot, I will be boycotting the Leno show and NBC. I am not asking you to do the same but I am...

I have not seen this bike posted anywhere on this site. Its Ben Parts "Zagato Guzzi". In my opinion this is one of the best looking cafe bikes I have seen...
